Six Palestinians were injured after Israeli forces raided the Qalandiya refugee camp on Monday in the occupied West Bank.

Anadolu News Agency reports that Israeli forces raided the camp located in the north of Jerusalem, and searched several Palestinian shops which triggered Palestinians to protest, during which Israeli soldiers fired rubber bullets and tear gas canisters at them.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a statement; "Six Palestinians were injured by rubber-coated bullets, while dozens suffered temporary asphyxiation from tear gas fired by Israeli forces."

The Israeli forces have been at loggerhead with the Palestinians for a while and have occupied the West Bank, including Eastern Jerusalem.
